Hot-el-apartments Edinburgh Waterfront

staff really went the extra mile to make sure you were happy on your arrival and relaxed when you left. they even remembered our names!

mattress was a bit lumpy

The apartment was very nice and in a quiet location. It's quite far from the centre of Edinburgh but the bus service is very good.

There is still a lot of building work going on so the views etc are still not at their best.

Big rooms ,very new all the mod cons

Still a building site

1. Good Size appartment ( 850 Sq Ft)

1. Rooms were not clean. The bedsheets and pillow were not washed . In the kitchen you can smell food -in general low hygine levels . No change of bedsheets, towel or pillow cover for 3 days we stayed( we were told that these are changed every 7 days!) 2. The cooking range, tooster ( filled with burned bread crumps) etc are all heavly used . Very low end furnishing most of the white goods are low end models purchased from ASAD.Our appartment was not directly see facing and just got glimses of the sea and of a broken ship !!. Cost £10 to get to city center( Had to wait 45 mins for next bus )each side and is must as you can't rely on buses. Have to clean the room before you check out else theycan cut the deposite( yes £300 taken checkin time!

We have taken short breaks before staying in Hotel Rooms and the extra space here makes a big difference. The decor is not mega expensive but it is stylish, good kitchen, glass dining table, proper flatscreen TV, stylish comfy sofas. We found the beds very comfortable, ensuite shower was huge plus additional bathroom. Kids loved their room and we liked the privacy. Lots of cupboard space so you can put suitcase and clothes away. We did not have a sea view but apartment block is right on sea front and it is beautiful. The Royal Yacht Brittania is moored further along the quay by a nice shopping mall, and there is a big Asda - you will need a couple of bits and bats. Very helpful to have the car - easy to find on Tom-Tom.

The £200 deposit was not such a problem as we knew about it from here. They are tired in the evening and don't want to trudge over to apartment, but there is an inventory and you can let them know if anything is missing, although they are not bothered about small things, they just don't want you to trash the place. It would have helped to have a dustpan and brush, and there was a muddy mark (not huge) on the master bedroom floor, which raised the thought that the rest of the carpet might not be all that clean.

Very good public transport (bus) to City centre

I liked the view from the apartment also the 24 supermarket that was right beside the apartment. Also liked that there was a bus service that went from the apartments right into Edinburgh city. That you could get the bus back at night.

I did not like the way that you had to check in at two. We were there 10 in the morning there was no where we could put are bags we had to leave them in a corner were they could be seen by anyone. Why not have a room were people can put them. Also checking out at 10 in the morning why not 12 midday. The 200 pounds we had to pay as a security deposit we did not know before hand. The man on the reception could of being more helpful.

The rooms were soacious and comfortable and supplies everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

quiet

i think they should put bins outside for cigarettes beacause there was alot of fag ends outside our main appartment door

Apart from a minor problem with the TV which was quickly fixed we thought that the apartment represented remarkable value for money. The no.10 bus was very convenient and provided transport to Edinburgh city centre every half-hour. The gentleman in reception was very pleasant and efficient. The apartment was furnished in quite a basic manner but everything we really needed was there. The bed was comfoertable.

Perhaps a little more attention should be paid to the overall standard of cleanliness, although it would be wrong to say that the apartment was dirty.

Very suitable for families

We had to pay £10 to get our towels changed after 3 days.

After reading some reviews, was expecting the worst, but pleasantly surprised at the apartment. Clean and spacious and some great views across the Forth.

The only thing I could fault was the bed. All pretty uncomfortable and in fact my wife suffered so much we had to cut short our stay. Shame as the apartment was really nice.

Everything!! This place is strongly recommended. Impressive Large rooms, lovely kitchen, perfect view, facilities, large beds, leather sofas, free WiFi, satellite TV, sparkling toilet and showers.

1. We arrived at 10 pm and the reception office was closed. It was raining and windy and we did not know what to do or were to go. No public phone around so I asked someone to call the management so they could send someone. They did, but it was kind of incontinent. 2. It is a bit hard to find.
